Independence You can Count On

HD Vest Advisors are independent, which allows them to objectively choose the best solutions for individuals based on a wide array of options. But independence isn’t about standing alone. It’s about partnering to harness the resources and support that enable Advisors to take the steps that are right for their clients and their business. That’s why a growing number of Advisors rely on the strength and leadership HD Vest provides to help them serve a broader range of client needs The HD Vest affiliated companies exclusively provide financial products and services, and do not provide or supervise tax or accounting services. Advisors may provide tax, accounting or other services through their independent outside businesses, but these services are separate and apart from HD Vest.
